Tonight and tomorrow night
Major Hendershot, the renowned
drummer, will appear in this city
under the auspices of the Sons of
Veterans and w. G. Il. U., and will
give a performance on the drum
that can better be appreciated after
being heard. An exchange speak

Il railroad train coming in and going
out. You could almost feel the cI.

whole regiment. The crowd in the
hall was immense. 1t was almost
impossible to move through the jam,
1t was n regular squeeze. The pro.
flciency of Mr.. Hendershot on the
drum is really wonderful, and many
an old soldier who has passed
through battles in all their fearful
reality knows how faithful was the
boy drummer's limitations. He
strikes his drum and distant volley
is heard; now volley after volley
pours in like thunder peals, and so
he portrays with his wonderful
power the awful music of cannon
and musketry and the excitement
and fury of the battle, until the old
soldier can almost imagine himself
i'm the saddle again.

In n Memory Of q Patriot.

New YORK, July 1S.-A delayed
message from the City of Mexico dated
yesterday says that great preparations
are being made to commemorate the
anniversary of the death of President
Jaurez at San Fernardino cemetery
tomorrow, and this afternoon APP
proaches to the cemetery are being SUI
perbly decorated. 1t is the intention
of the chief men of the liberal party to
make the affair one of great national
prominence. Nearly every newspaper
office in the city and throughout the
country will send wreaths and flowers
to be laid on the tomb of the patriot.
The clerical press is naturally taking
no part in the affair. All the papers
in the city belonging to the liberal
press turn their column rules to-day
and publish long articles eulogistic OF
the patriot. A high official said this
afternoon that the arrest of the edito-
rial staff of the Eltiempo, the leading
church organ, was done by order OF the
judge acting on his own volition UNI
der the penal code relative to the lib
erty OF the press. The code does not
permit printing libelous attacks on
eminent men, living or dead, and it is
in the power of any citizen seeing
such attacks to bring criminal pro-
ceedings immediately. The Eltiempo
had slandered the memory of Jaurez,
and the arrest OF its editors followed.
1t was intimated to-day that the action
was taken not so much to mete out
punishment to the accused as to pre-
vent a popular outburst against FL
tempo, which might have resulted in
grave public disorders.

New YORK, July 1S.-The following
is published here The announce
ment by cable that the executors OF
the estate of the late Ex-Governor
Samuel j. Tilden had probated his
will in England in order to assume
jurisdiction over his large English es-

had any English estate. The value of
the English property according to the
London Illustrated is G13S,O0O. A

most OF the investment is in consuls,
bought at low prices and are worth

The Grand Army or,hs Republic.

Trouble is in store for the oreaniza-
tion known as the Grand Army of the
Republic if il shall continue TO develop
features of vulgar partisanship such as
haYe recently been manifested by its
members here and there. The body or
men bearing this title cannot claim that
exemption from public criticism which
would be accorded TO other voluntary
associations of citizens. The Grand
Army, so called, has sought to main
tain relations with the politics o: the
country. 1t has tTied.to secure for its
members offices OF profit aud power on
the ground OF membership in its ranks.
1t has aTTCgated TO itself posts OF honor
on public ceremonial occasions, and
vaunted its loyalty and past services as
reasons why public Difference should be
paid 20 il. T. has endeavored at various
times to influence public opinion on po-
litieal questions by assuming TO voice
authoritatively the sentiment of the
soldiers who fought through the civil
war, and when the war was over stop
ped lighting. Repeatedly during the
incumbency o. the present Administra-
tion II has manifested 4 spirit OF hOstili-
ty 10 the hOnOred citizen who by the
votes of majority of the people has
been chosen Chief Magistrate o. the ma
ton. During the last year or two, in
deed, it has usually been difficult to dis
tinguish a difference between the pro-
nunciamentos OF numerous Grand Army
Posts and the partisan resolutions OF
petty conventions of the party which the
people removed from power az the last
general election.

machine ? II that be its status the fact

that politics has nothing TO do with the
work of this organization has been too
sIe-nly negatiYsd by recent events 10 be
worth presenting again. The general
public has been driven TO the conclusion
that considerable portion az least OF
the Grand Army is welded as an instTu-
ment 10 advance the fortunes of p0lit-

sciOusness through all the channels of

Mr.. GIadstone's Great Speech.

Mr. Gladstone was not far wrong
when he exclaimed last night IN the
House OF Commons that the prociama-
tiOn OF the National League was some
,hIng very much akin 10 a declaration
OF war on the Irish people. The latter
SympathiZs with the League because
they believe IL has been their salvation.
Nobody did anything for the tenants IN
I'll the League was founded.
Continuing his eloquent defense OF the
League, Mr.. Gladstone scored strong
point when he called the attention of the
House 10 the fact that ii was asked TO
ratify the Niccroy of Ireland's procla-
nation without being made cogniZant
or The grounds OF its issue Such con-
duct on the part OF the Government, he
declared, amounted TO a slight, nay,
almost 10 an outrage on Parliament.
y notwithstanding the fact That the
proclamation Of the League practically
did away with jury, judge, resident
magistrate and Parliament, and left
Ireland 10 the absolute, unmitigated and
arbitrary control of the Dublin Execu-
tive, which is necessarily partisan IN its
nature, he appealed TO the Irish 20 have
patience 4 little longer. The Govern
ment's policy, he affirmed, has not the
sanction OF the British nation, and Ire
lands expectation that the English peo-
PIE will very shortly fulfil the reasonable
demands ot the Emerald Isle will not
be disappointed.
